Ah, you got that triangular patch. It was very unusual. It does make me think of Tempest. I didn't see the auction until it was over (I skipped my usual eBay perusal that day - the danger of those one day auctions), otherwise I would have bid. Can you make out the copyright date? I asked the seller and he said he couldn't read it.
I have several other Atari patches, including ones for Asteroids, Centipede, and Tempest, as well as the Atarian Certified Game Player patch, several different Fujis, and a Captain Atari Club which is Australian.
Also, thanks for posting the pic of those other pins. I've got the original set of 12, plus Asteroids, and I knew I had seen one other on eBay (Pole Position IIRC). I didn't know that Liberator, Quadrun, and Star Wars had pins. Hopefully I'll be able to find those.
atari tempest patch? Atari collectors pins I have found.
